As Seth Godin says,

instead of wondering when your next vacation is,

maybe you should set up a life you don't need an escape from.

I don't think people really realize we construct our lives.

We build them from nothing. We decide what our goals are.

We decide in what way to move. We decide who we're going to become and what we're going to get.

But it's a decision. It's a process.

It isn't something that somebody hands to you.

And so if you find that your life is a misery,

understand that your life is an exact reflection of your choices.

And if you want a different life,

you need only make a different choice.

But I know right now many of you are thinking,

but I don't know what way to go.

I don't know what choice to make.

I don't know what it is that I want to do.

And as Roy Maris Keen said,

I don't believe skill was or ever will be the result of coaches.

It is a result of a love affair between the child and the ball.

So ask yourself,

what's that thing you love?

And don't judge yourself.
